Episode 6: The Line Burn Wild

As they visit the site of an ELF arson twenty-five years ago, Leah and Georgia meet inhabitants of a town that two years ago was lost to forest fire.
The Earth Liberation Front had a clear line they wouldn’t cross: they would never cause any physical harm. And they never did.
As climate change bears down they ask - where is the line now? A time when the stakes have gotten higher, the consequences sharper.
Leah and Georgia hear from those who spent years behind bars as a result of their actions in the name of the ELF, and environmental activists today - including the founders of mass civil disobedience movement Extinction Rebellion.
